Biscotti (/bɪˈskɒti/, Italian: [biˈskɔtti]; lit. 'biscuits') are Italian almond biscuits originating in the city of Prato, in Tuscany. They are twice-baked, oblong-shaped, dry, and crunchy.[1] In Italy, they are known as cantucci, biscotti di Prato or biscotti etruschi and may be dipped in a drink, traditionally Vin Santo. Smaller biscotti may be known as biscottini[2] or cantuccini.[3] In Italian, the word biscotti (sg. biscotto) encompasses all kinds of biscuits or cookies.
